Kailyn claimed Briana “asserted that Lowry physically beat Christopher Lopez, the father of two of Lowry’s sons, and broke into and entered the home of Mr. Lopez’s mother.”
Kailyn’s legal team claimed that her co-star’s comments are false and were made “for the purpose of causing Lowry harm… Defendant used Lowry to gain additional media attention for herself.”
Amid the controversy, Briana’s outspoken mother Roxanne hinted that Kailyn is trying to stir up ratings for Teen Mom 2.
She tweeted: “Looks like someone is looking for a storyline.”
Kailyn has been slammed in recent weeks for not filming about her arrest in September for allegedly “punching” Chris.
Roxanne also appeared to agree with a fan who wrote: “She suing of pure jealousy! Defamation when there is a police report lol!”
She replied with several emojis of a finger pointing up towards the fan’s comment.
Briana’s sister Brittany also waded into the feud, accusing Kailyn of being a “typical Karen” in a furious Twitter rant.
She posted: “Y’all can come for me all y’all want this is just my personal opinion and I’m entitled to my freedom of speech but I think Kail Lowry exudes DRY P***Y ENERGY.”
Brittany continued, sharing some more opinions on the matter and the same phrase once more: “A white woman calling for legal help against a person of color… typical Karen s**t.
“Again… DRY P***Y ENERGY!”
In Kailyn’s lawsuit – filed on June 25 – the reality star went into her long-standing feud with Briana which was sparked when she joined Teen Mom 2 in 2017.
Kailyn claimed Briana “has a history of making false public statements regarding Lowry’s family life,” including when she allegedly responded to a Twitter user “[Lowry] gets beat the f**k up by Chris in front of her kids.”
She also mentioned when Briana’s sister, Brittany, “physically assaulted” her while filming a reunion episode in August 2018.
The court papers claimed: “Defendant’s conduct towards Lowry, including pursuing Lowry’s former husband and Mr. Lopez, is so egregious that in September 2020, one social media influencer created a video titled, “Is Briana DeJesus OBSESSED With Kail Lowry?!
“In this video, the influencer called Defendant’s conduct toward Lowry ‘creepy,’ ‘pathetic,’ and ‘dusty.'”
Kailyn mentioned in the lawsuit when she was excluded from the June 8, 2021 Teen Mom 2 episode.
Briana claimed she wasn’t included because she allegedly “committed violent, physical crimes towards Mr. Lopez. Defendant also asserted that Lowry was arrested for breaking and entering into the home of Mr. Lopez’s mother.”
Briana claimed Kailyn “didn’t want to film” about the alleged incident.
Kailyn claimed she did not break into Chris’ mother’s home or beat him up and claimed Briana’s statements “threaten” her “ability to earn a living.”
The MTV star claimed she suffered “the impairment of her reputation and standing in the community, personal humiliation, and mental anguish.”
She is requesting $30,000, reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees, and a jury trial.
Kailyn previously called out her baby daddy Chris on social media for cutting their three-year-old son Lux’s long locks without asking her first.
The drama between the co-parents escalated when Kailyn was arrested for “punching” Chris “several times with a closed fist” over their oldest son’s haircut.
The Celeb Report exclusively reported that the Teen Mom 2 star was arrested on September 26 for offensive touching, though she denied the fight turned physical to police.
